Requesting a Nonstandard Examination

The ABA supports the intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to accommodate individuals with documented disabilities who demonstrate a need for modification. Those seeking adjustments are required to submit documentation of their disability to validate coverage under the ADA as a disabled individual. Physicians requesting nonstandard conditions should read the Guidelines for Requesting Examination Accommodations and review the deadlines.

The ABA must receive all requests for the summer exam by March 15 of the exam year and all supporting documentation by March 31 of the exam year. The ABA must receive all requests for the winter exam by Aug. 15 of the year prior to the exam and all supporting documentation by Sept. 15 of the year prior to the exam.
